Silver Stocks
Should you invest in silver mining stocks or own physical silver? Compare the pros and cons of each approach and discover why physical silver offers the purest exposure to silver prices.
Why Physical Silver Over Silver Stocks?
While silver stocks offer exposure to the silver market, physical silver provides unique advantages that paper investments simply cannot match.
Industrial Demand Surge
50%+ of silver is consumed in industrial applications - solar panels, EVs, electronics. Mining stocks don't capture this fundamental demand.
Undervalued vs Gold
The gold-to-silver ratio near 80:1 suggests silver is historically cheap. Physical silver lets you own the actual metal when the ratio normalizes.
Tangible Asset Ownership
Physical silver is real wealth you can hold. Mining stocks are paper claims on company profits, not the metal itself.
No Counterparty Risk
Mining companies can go bankrupt, mismanage, or dilute shares. Physical silver has no CEO, no debt, no management risk.
